Ending The Rat Race

When it comes time to do my Weekend Financial Roll Call, I often ask myself, "where did the week go?" and I realize that yet another week has passed us by.

At any rate, in between my daily threads for the week, I managed to find a few 'gems' in the blogosphere, and made sure I bookmarked them for future reading.

For example, on Tuesday night I came across Skelliewag, a blog about "planning, creating and growing the online projects you’re obsessed with". I don't even recall as to how I came across this site, but there are some awesome articles throughout the blog, and it is a place I will definitely be visiting on a fairly regular basis.

Another blog that I came across with some cool Canadian flavor, is "Give Me Back My Five Bucks", and the most recent thread is titled, "WARNING: New Rule with Swagbucks!"

The Financial Samurai offers yet another batch of interesting and amusing posts this week, with its most recent, "Never Call In Sick On Friday, Slacker!" I also mentioned this cat last week on my Weekend Financial Roll Call, and I find myself visiting the blog every week.

Lastly, The Financial Blogger posted what I felt was an awesome thread this week, titled, "My Wife's Look At My Company". It discusses the trials, tribulations and what's involved in hustling hard in developing a blog site and how it can impact how your spouse and family perceive your project. I felt that this post related to me in a lot of ways, and I really admired the fact that he was passionate in his pursuits and was glad to read that he is starting to get some dividends from his project.

Personal Finance Blog, a new blog that I have come across in a rather unusual way, also has a post you may be interested in, titled, "Book Review and Contest".

In closing for the week, I have noticed that a couple of more readers have subscribed to my feed this week and would like to thank you for subscribing to my threads; again, thank you to those who continue to visit The Rat's lair and post their comments.

Have a great weekend!
